Drum Hardware · Models

The steel between the drummer and the drums. Bass drum pedals and hi-hat stands are considered purchases in their own right, and a throne outlasts several kits.

  • Model

    Roc-N-Soc Nitro

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Nitro uses a gas cylinder rather than a threaded spindle, so height is set by a lever and holds under weight. It is the throne most often specified on professional riders.

  • Model

    Axis Longboard A

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Longboard A is the pedal fast double-bass playing is measured against: a solid machined linkage, sealed bearings, and a footboard long enough to play heel-toe across its whole length.

  • Model

    Trick Pro1-V

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Pro1-V's adjustments — spring tension, beater angle, footboard angle — are all independent and made without tools, and the bearings are low enough friction that the pedal returns without help.

  • Model

    Roc-N-Soc Manual Spindle

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Manual Spindle throne offers the same contoured seat tops — round, saddle, or cycle — on a threaded post, for players who would rather not depend on a gas cylinder.

  • Model

    DW 9500 Hi-Hat Stand

    Drum hardware · United States

    The 9500 adds a rotating leg section so the stand can be positioned around a double pedal, and DW's TriPivot toe clamp, which lets the footboard angle be set independently of the legs.

  • Model

    DW 9000

    Drum hardware · United States

    The 9000 adds an infinitely adjustable cam, a floating rotor, and independent spring and beater angle adjustment to the 5000's geometry, at the cost of weight and complexity.

  • Model

    DW MDD

    Drum hardware · United States

    The MDD is DW's answer to the direct-drive market: a machined aluminium linkage with no chain, and a cam that can be swapped between three profiles rather than adjusted along a curve.

  • Model

    Evans RealFeel Practice Pad

    Drum hardware · United States

    The RealFeel is the practice pad most drummers own: a wood core with recycled gum rubber on one side and a harder surface on the other, in sizes that fit a snare stand.

  • Model

    DW 9000 Cymbal Stand

    Drum hardware · United States

    The 9000 boom stands use a toothless tilter with infinite adjustment rather than fixed teeth, which matters when a cymbal has to sit at an angle the teeth do not offer.

  • Model

    DW 5000

    Drum hardware · United States

    Drum Workshop bought Camco's tooling and turned its pedal into the DW 5000, whose single-chain accelerator cam has been the default professional bass drum pedal for four decades. The AD4 is the version most drummers mean when they say "a five thousand".

  • Model

    Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Practice Pad

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Heavy Hitter pads offer a soft gum rubber side and a harder side, so a player can practise against both a forgiving and an unforgiving rebound on the same pad.

  • Model

    Ludwig Speed King

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Speed King hides its springs inside the pedal's cast body, which made it compact, distinctive, and famously squeaky. It was the pedal on most American drum kits for two decades.

  • Model

    Remo Practice Pad

    Drum hardware · United States

    Remo's practice pads use a tensioned Mylar head over a muffled shell rather than a rubber slab, which reproduces the rebound of a tuned drum more closely than rubber does.
